Overview

Less complexity.
More clarity.

From case creation to family communication, RIP App Business brings everything essential to one place. For clearer workflows. For a calmer day.

Step 01

Coffin from the manufacturer

The funeral director sources the RIP-certified coffin as usual, directly from the manufacturer. The RIP-Tag is integrated at the factory. No retrofitting. No extra effort. Digitally connected from the very first moment.

Step 02

Activate via app

With a quick NFC tap the funeral director activates the coffin and links it to the case in RIP App Business. From this moment, location, status and progress are tracked automatically. Without any further action.

Step 03

Transparent at every step

Funeral directors, crematoria and, if desired, family members can see at any time where the coffin is and which stage of the process is currently active. Clear, calm, without questions. Certainty replaces phone calls.

Step 04

Transfer to ashes

At the crematorium the NFC tag is removed from the coffin and transferred to the urn. This ensures the digital identity is maintained throughout. From the very first moment to the burial.

Step 05

Burial

Before burial the tag is removed and returned to the material cycle. At the same moment the location of the grave is recorded to within a few centimetres and stored permanently. So the place of remembrance remains findable. Even years later, across generations.

Families & remembrance

Through RIP App a unique ecosystem around remembrance is created for families. From physical keepsakes to digital memorial spaces. Grief has a place where it can evolve. Private, dignified and designed to last.

Voices from the field

What people from the industry say about working with RIP App Business.

Digital transformation is long overdue. Paperwork, lack of overview and missing connectivity cost time that we actually need for the people who trust us. RIP App makes daily work easier, simplifies processes and connects everyone involved.
